Dutch term or phrase: belastbaarheid

In een artikel over verzuimmanagement worden de begrippen "belasting en belastbaarheid van een werknemer"gebruikt.
Belasting lijkt mij goed vertaald met "workload", maar voor "belastbaarheid" kan ik geen oplossing vinden.

capacity

Explanation:
I think it's just 'capacity', i.e. how much a person is capable of producing (hoeveel werk iemand aan kan).

See website: "the balance between workload and capacity"

12 hrs confidence:

mental toughness

Explanation:
It is not directly related to stress. How many tasks can the person be given and still is able to perform. I can handle many tasks but if one too many, I will not crash, but the quality will deteriorate. I'll do a step back. It is about the amount of tasks that a person can carry.
